Pure Defect

First up is the DPRK Forum, where Jack breaks down the cult of personality that is North Korea and their Juche political system. I've been working with Jack on various projects off and on over the years and he shows dedication to a subject like no other. The site is well written and delves into a place that few outside its borders understand very well, so take a moment to stop by the site and learn a little about one of the last bastions of Communism.

Next up I have to plug nerdcore yet again because I like it just that much! I read Hipster, please! quite regularly and will admit that it is one of my prime sources of nerdcore info outside of individual artists sites such as Ultraklystron, ZeaLouS1, and Beefy to name a few. First to get praise is the Radio Free Hipster podcast but specifically Episode 30: The WFWFTW Mixtape which contains some absolutely awesome nerdcore that I think everybody should hear to get a good idea of what nerdcore really is, where it comes from, and the influences that shape it continually. Its a little bit late considering that the podcast came out on the 15th of September, but its been playing alot on the iPod lately so its worth a mention in my book.

Finally I come to my favorite nerdcore artist which I admit I follow close enough to probably be considered creepy; Ultraklysron. He recently released what amounts to a double disk set with Never Knows Best | Never Yours To Share It. After alot of time listening to these albums I must admit that for a non-nerdcore release they are superb for putting on while unwinding after a stressful day or as a soundtrack to coding(so still nerd-centric if you want to really reach).
